15 minute Friday . . .

This project got a little more involved than I expected. But I am happy to report that it is done! I did end up keeping my metal embellishments and tools in the desktop organizer. I used Crate Paper to provide a decorative element to the front of the drawers. I then created labels, using some chic hardware from SU, to identify the contents of the larger drawers.
During this process I discovered that regular Scrap Rack page inserts were not well suited for metal embellishments. Scrap Rack does sell insert sheets for chunky embellishments but I did not want to spend any money. So I kept the metal embellishments in the drawer and transferred the flat embellishments to the SR. I did however have to re-organize the spindles in order to fit the new embellishments into the Scrap Rack.

At this point I'm on a roll so I decided to get rid of my Pampered Chef tool caddy. I know what you are thinking . . . "OMG she didn't" . . . but I did! I separated the pens & hobby knives I use most often and stored them in a desktop organizer I have on the island. The rest of the pens are now stored in a drawer. I never fully utilized the caddy so I doubt I'll miss it but let's see what happens.
